Fengguo Temple stands in the town of Yixian and was founded in the ninth year of the Liao Kaitai era (1020). Its main hall enshrines the Seven Buddhas of the Past, hence the name Seven Buddha Temple. The hall is nine bays wide, the largest surviving Liao-dynasty Buddhist hall, with a sturdy frame and large bracket sets, and it represents Liao timber architecture. It is one of the major Liao temples that survive, together with the Huayan and Shanhua temples in Datong.
